fingers, palms, elbows and arms


This is an easy project to execute all you need is A2 paper (try diff types), container of water and a box of watercolour cake.

the focus of this project was to for students to discover the number of ways they can use their hands or arms to create marks or prints. i think most of them had fun, even though at the start some found it strange when i said "no brushes today". it was a slow build up, first from the usual handprints, fingers tapping to side chops. each time someone did something new, the rest tried a bit. one student went as far as using his elbows and later arm. 

and along the way, what happens when too much or too little water is applied.
